These SOCs operate within large organizations that rely on dozens of monitoring tools to detect suspicious activity across networks, devices, and identity systems. Each system generates alerts when something unusual occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In theory, those alerts help security teams identify attacks early. But in practice, they can overwhelm the people responsible for responding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOver time, this became overwhelming,\u201d said Guy Teverovsky, co-founder and CTO of Semperis. \u201cWe have been hearing from multiple customers that they are drowning under the amount of different alerts from different solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Cybersecurity&amp;apos;s Hidden Human Problem - #0056, Guy Teverovsky\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"624\" height=\"351\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/3MM3Fvkw3pyF9NTPvBf0GV\/video?si=G13x4GUfR5etKoJn9KqA4A&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Organizations are now collecting so much security data that analysts often struggle to determine which alerts represent genuine threats and which are harmless anomalies. The change in new age cybersecurity means that challenges are not only technical, but they can have a lasting impact on the stress levels of industry workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teverovsky said that when security teams face thousands of alerts every day, their most valuable resource becomes the ability to prioritize. Missing the one critical signal buried in a sea of warnings can allow attackers to escalate privileges, move through networks, or disrupt key infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPrioritization becomes critical,\u201d he explained. \u201cYou have to surface the most critical findings\u2026 otherwise you\u2019re in a big problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That pressure has pushed many cybersecurity companies to rethink how alerts are generated and delivered. Instead of flooding analysts with raw signals, modern systems increasingly attempt to contextualize threats, highlight the most dangerous activity, and recommend specific remediation steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Semperis provides threat prevention, detection, response, and recovery for Active Directory, the Microsoft directory service for connecting users with network resources. Customers who use its services get layered defense across the entire lifecycle of an AD-based attack, both on-prem and in the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company serves over 1,000 organizations, including government agencies and a significant portion of the largest U.S. companies. It has raised a total of $369.5 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI plays a role in helping teams process all this new information by helping security platforms analyze patterns across massive volumes of data. But even as automation improves, the human factor remains central to cyber defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Decision-making during a live security incident still depends on experienced engineers, analysts, and responders who must interpret signals, assess risk, and act quickly under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So in that sense, cybersecurity today is about enabling people to make the right decisions in an environment defined by constant digital noise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While cybersecurity is often framed as a technical challenge, many of the industry\u2019s biggest problems are increasingly human.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":106,"featured_media":7922,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7921","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
